Murder at Mablethorpe Castle by Elizabeth Rose
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Late 1300s, the time of Edward III. A fire burns the stables, is this a diversion to the murder of Lord Gainsborough. Sheriff Fitch investigates while Lady Vivienne insists in being his partner in the investigation. Unfortunately I found Vivienne fairly unlikeable in her behaviour and I didn't feel drawn into medieval England.
Overall it was enjoyable enough to finish the story.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
